A bit about me

I qualified as a Premier Personal Trainer after an extensive career in marketing in publishing and as an air stewardess. I combine my advanced knowledge in sports massage, nutrition and postural analysis into training while continually improving and developing my skills.

I am charming, friendly, motivational and my patient approach will help you in achieving your goals. I am passionate about health and fitness and eager in keeping up to date with the latest training methods. A qualified NASM corrective exercise specialist, I train with functional techniques as well as tried and tested methods. I am an experienced trainer with 15+ years in the industry, and compete in 10km races and have run regularly over the last 10+ years.

What my clients have to say:

"Thank you for the statistics, your client records are first class … I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for making the training sessions challenging, interesting, but most of all enjoyable. You always show a high degree of professionalism and knowledge, and have an excellent motivational manner. My strength and stamina have improved noticeably and I am delighted with the ‘end result’." - Andrew Hyde, May 2014

"You have kept me free from neck pain for a long time, hoping we might be able to do something similar with the hip…" - Sue Bower, May 2015

"‘I started working with Sue Barbour in June 2017 … I have achieved everything I set out to do with Sue’s instruction and guidance in terms of body strength and fitness. I also achieved my best results in the following running distances: 5km Oct 2017, 10km April 2018 and half marathon, Nov 2017." - Mary Morris, Apr 2018

"I’m going to miss our sessions and particularly seeing you. Thank you for guiding, advising, encouraging and giving me super training sessions and being a friend. I’ve learned such a lot from you and I’m fitter and more toned … Can’t believe that was 5 years ago." - Wendy Reeves, Apr 2018
